July 22nd 2023 – God’s Faithful Promise of Abundant Blessings

Deuteronomy 7:15 – “The Lord will remove from you all sickness, and he will not inflict on you any of the harmful diseases of Egypt that you have known, but he will inflict them on all who hate you.” –

In this verse, God reveals His compassionate nature and His desire to bless His children abundantly. The Israelites were about to enter the Promised Land, and God, through Moses, was reminding them of His faithfulness. He assured them that He would remove all sickness and protect them from the harmful diseases they had witnessed during their time in Egypt.

This promise holds great significance for us as believers today. Just as God delivered the Israelites from the bondage of slavery, He has delivered us from the power of sin through His Son, Jesus Christ. We have been set free to live a life of abundant blessings, both spiritual and physical.

God’s promise to remove all sickness from His people reveals His heart of compassion and the depth of His love. He longs for us to experience wholeness and well-being, knowing that our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:19). While we may still face physical challenges in this fallen world, we can trust that God is our ultimate healer. He has the power to bring restoration, healing, and complete well-being into our lives.

Moreover, this verse serves as a reminder that God is our protector. He shields us from the harmful afflictions that may seek to harm us. It is important to understand that this does not mean we will never face difficulties or opposition in life. However, we can be assured that God will be with us every step of the way, shielding us from the full impact of the trials we encounter.

As we meditate on this promise, let us also remember that God’s blessings are not solely for our benefit. This verse also highlights that those who hate God’s people will experience the very afflictions that God promises to spare His children. It reveals God’s justice and His unwavering commitment to His people.

In conclusion, let us hold onto the truth embedded in Deuteronomy 7:15. Our loving God desires to bless us abundantly, bringing healing and protection into our lives. He longs to see us flourish in every aspect of our existence, both spiritually and physically. Let us trust in His faithfulness and remain steadfast in our devotion to Him. May we draw closer to God each day, knowing that He is our healer, protector, and the source of all blessings.

Prayer:

Heavenly Father,

We come before You today with hearts overflowing with gratitude and awe for Your unwavering love and faithfulness. We thank You for the promise You have given us in Deuteronomy 7:15, assuring us of Your divine protection and healing.

Lord, we acknowledge that You are the Great Physician, the One who holds all power and authority over sickness and disease. We humbly ask that You fulfill Your promise to remove all sickness from our lives. We pray for those who are currently battling illnesses, physical ailments, or any form of affliction. May Your healing touch be upon them, bringing restoration and wholeness to their bodies.

Father, we lift up those who may be facing challenges, feeling overwhelmed by physical and emotional pain. Grant them strength and courage to endure, knowing that You are with them every step of the way. Surround them with Your comforting presence and pour out Your divine healing upon them.

Lord, we also pray for protection. Shield us from harmful diseases and afflictions that may seek to harm us. We trust in Your unfailing love and unwavering care. May Your divine hedge of protection surround us, our families, and our loved ones.

Help us to remember that Your blessings are not just for our benefit but also for the transformation of the world around us. As we experience Your healing and protection, empower us to be witnesses of Your love and compassion. Guide us to extend a helping hand to those in need, offering comfort, support, and prayers.

Lord, we surrender our lives into Your hands, trusting in Your perfect plan for us. Strengthen our faith and deepen our relationship with You. Help us to walk in obedience to Your Word, knowing that Your promises are true and unchanging.

We thank You, Lord, for hearing our prayers and for being our ever-present help in times of trouble. May Your name be glorified in every aspect of our lives. In the mighty name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.

July 19th 2023 – The Gift of Peace

John 14:27 – “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.”

In this verse, Jesus offers His disciples and all believers the gift of peace. But this peace is not like the temporary and fleeting peace that the world promises. It is a deep and lasting peace that comes from knowing and trusting in Jesus Christ.

In the midst of a chaotic and troubled world, Jesus reminds us not to let our hearts be troubled or afraid. He knows that we face many challenges, trials, and uncertainties, but He offers us His peace to calm our troubled hearts and minds.

This peace is not dependent on our personal circumstances. It is not found in worldly possessions, success, or the absence of problems. Instead, it is a peace that transcends all understanding and surpasses the troubles of this world. It is a peace that comes from knowing that Jesus is with us, guiding and comforting us through every situation.

As Christians, we can find peace in Jesus’ words because He has overcome the world. He conquered sin and death through His sacrifice on the cross, and He offers us the same victory and peace through faith in Him.

So, when we find ourselves feeling anxious or afraid, let us remember the promise of Jesus’ peace. Let us turn to Him in prayer, seeking His presence and surrendering our worries to Him. Let us trust in His faithfulness and His promises, knowing that He is in control and that His peace will guard our hearts and minds.

May we embrace the peace that Jesus offers, allowing it to fill every corner of our lives. And may this peace shine through us, becoming a powerful testimony to those around us who desperately need the peace that only Jesus can provide.

Let us hold on to the words of Jesus in John 14:27, allowing His peace to guide us, comfort us, and strengthen us each day.

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, Thank you for the gift of prayer, a way for us to communicate with you and seek your guidance, comfort, and understanding. Today, we come before you with humble hearts, acknowledging that there are certain circumstances and situations in our lives that surpass our understanding. We recognize that there are times when we can’t comprehend the reasons behind the challenges we face or the pain we endure.

In these moments, we turn to you, knowing that you are the source of all wisdom and knowledge. We ask for your divine intervention, to grant us the ability to trust in your plan even when we can’t fully comprehend it. Help us to have faith in your goodness and faithfulness, knowing that you work all things together for our ultimate good.

Lord, we ask for your peace that surpasses all understanding to guard our hearts and minds. In the midst of confusion, doubt, and uncertainty, may your peace anchor our souls and remind us that you are in control. Help us to surrender our need for understanding and instead trust in your sovereignty.

We pray for those who are going through difficult times, those who are facing trials that surpass their understanding. Comfort them, Lord, and grant them the strength to endure. Surround them with your love and remind them of your presence, even in the midst of their confusion.

Teach us, Father, to rely not on our own understanding, but to lean on you in all things. Help us to seek your wisdom and guidance in every decision we make, knowing that you have a perfect plan for our lives.

Finally, Lord, we thank you for the promise that one day, all things will be made clear. In the presence of your glory, we will fully understand and comprehend the reasons behind every trial and challenge we faced on earth. Until then, we trust in your promise and rest in the assurance that your ways are higher than our ways. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.

July 9th 2023 – God’s Compassion and Power to Heal

Today, let’s reflect on the profound gift of healing that our Lord has bestowed upon us. Throughout the pages of the Bible, we witness countless examples of God’s compassion and power to heal the brokenness in our lives. It is through His grace and love that we find restoration, both in body and spirit.

Isaiah 53:5 – “But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed.”

In the book of Isaiah, we are reminded that it is the Lord who heals our diseases and binds up our wounds. His divine touch brings forth miraculous healing, mending the deepest pains and restoring us to wholeness. It is through His Son, Jesus Christ, that we find ultimate healing, for He bore our sins and infirmities on the cross, offering us redemption and eternal life.

As followers of Christ, we are called to not only seek healing for ourselves but to also become vessels of His healing for others. We are encouraged to extend the love and compassion of Jesus to those who are hurting and broken, just as He did during His earthly ministry. Through prayer, laying on of hands, and speaking words of encouragement, we have the privilege to participate in the healing work of our Lord.

However, we must also recognize that healing does not always occur in the way we expect or desire. Sometimes, physical ailments persist, emotional wounds linger, and the answers to our prayers seem elusive. In these moments, we are called to trust in God’s sovereignty and wisdom. He alone knows what is best for us, and He promises to be with us in every season of life.

Even if complete physical healing is not granted in this earthly realm, we can find solace in the spiritual healing that God offers. His grace is sufficient to carry us through any affliction, providing comfort, peace, and strength. Through our trials, we are refined and transformed, drawing closer to God and becoming more like His Son, Jesus Christ.

Let us also remember that healing extends beyond the physical realm. Our souls require healing from the wounds of sin, guilt, and shame. It is through the power of Christ’s sacrifice and forgiveness that we find true spiritual healing. As we surrender our brokenness to Him, He washes away our sins and fills us with His perfect love and peace.

Today, let us approach the throne of grace with faith and confidence, seeking God’s healing touch in our lives. Whether it be physical, emotional, or spiritual healing, we can trust that our Heavenly Father hears our prayers and responds according to His perfect will. Let us also strive to be instruments of His healing, bringing hope and restoration to those around us.

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, We come before you today, seeking your healing touch in our lives. We lay our burdens and ailments at your feet, trusting in your power to restore and renew us. Lord, we believe that you are the Great Physician, capable of healing every affliction, both physical and spiritual.

In the name of Jesus, we ask for your healing presence to flow through our bodies, bringing strength, comfort, and restoration. Touch every area of pain, sickness, and disease, and replace it with your divine health. We declare that by your stripes, we are healed.

Lord, we also ask for emotional and spiritual healing. Mend the brokenness within our hearts and minds, and bring peace and wholeness to our souls. Heal us from the wounds of the past, and fill us with your love, joy, and peace that surpasses all understanding.

We pray not only for ourselves but also for those around us who are in need of healing. Reach out your hand and touch them with your grace and mercy. Use us as instruments of your healing, that we may bring hope and comfort to those who are hurting.

As we await your healing touch, grant us patience, faith, and trust in your perfect timing. Help us to surrender our worries and fears, knowing that you are in control and have a plan for our lives. May your will be done, and may your healing power be manifest in our lives for your glory.

In Jesus’ holy and precious name, we pray. Amen.

If you have never experienced the love of God through a relationship with Jesus then come to Him today. He will never turn you away.

July 5th 2023 – Loyalty Through Christ’s Example

It’s often a good idea to reflect upon the significance of loyalty in our lives as followers of Jesus. Loyalty is a virtue that not only strengthens our relationships with one another but also deepens our connection with our Lord. Let us dive into God’s Word and discover how we can cultivate unwavering loyalty in our lives.

Proverbs 3:3-4 says, “Let love and faithfulness never leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart. Then you will win favor and a good name in the sight of God and man.”

Loyalty is an essential attribute that reflects the character of Christ in us. As Christians, we are called to demonstrate loyalty in our relationships with God, our fellow believers, and the world around us. Our loyalty should be rooted in love and faithfulness, just as Proverbs 3:3-4 reminds us.

Our loyalty to God is the foundation of our faith. It involves wholeheartedly committing ourselves to Him, trusting in His promises, and obeying His commandments. Loyalty to God means seeking His presence daily through prayer, studying His Word, and surrendering our lives to His will. Let us be devoted to serving Him faithfully, even in the face of challenges or temptations.

As members of the body of Christ, we are called to love and support one another. Loyalty to our fellow believers means standing by their side, offering encouragement, and demonstrating unwavering commitment. Let us strive to build authentic relationships, bearing each other’s burdens, and rejoicing in one another’s victories. In times of conflict or disagreement, let our loyalty be a unifying force, promoting forgiveness and reconciliation.

Our loyalty should extend beyond the walls of our churches, reaching out to a broken world desperately in need of God’s love. We are called to be ambassadors of Christ, shining His light in every sphere of our lives. Our loyalty be evident in our integrity, honesty, and compassion towards all people, regardless of their background or beliefs.

Psalm 136:26 “Give thanks to the God of heaven. His love endures forever.”

Take some time today to:

1.  Reflect on your loyalty to God. Are there areas in your life where you can deepen your commitment to Him? Seek His guidance and ask for His strength to remain steadfast in your faith.

2.  Examine your relationships with fellow believers. Are there any instances where you can demonstrate greater loyalty, support, or unity? Pray for wisdom and take steps to foster loyalty with other Christians you know.

3.  Consider your interactions with the world around you. How can you demonstrate loyalty, love, and compassion to those who may not yet know Christ? Pray for opportunities to be a witness and allow God’s loyalty to flow through you.

loyalty is a powerful virtue that has the potential to transform our lives and impact those around us. Let us strive to cultivate unwavering loyalty in our relationship with God, with our fellow believers, and with the world. As we embrace loyalty rooted in love and faithfulness, we will experience the favor of God and become beacons of His grace and truth.

Prayer:

Heavenly Father,

We come before You today, grateful for Your unwavering love and faithfulness in our lives. You are the epitome of loyalty, and we are in awe of Your steadfastness. Lord, we humbly ask for Your guidance as we seek to cultivate loyalty in our hearts and actions.

Help us, Lord, to be loyal to You above all else. May our hearts be steadfast in seeking Your will and following Your commandments. Strengthen our faith, that we may trust in Your promises and remain devoted to You even in the face of trials and temptations. Fill us with a deep desire to honor You with our lives, knowing that Your love endures forever.

Lord, we also ask for Your grace in being loyal to Your Word. Open our hearts and minds to understand the truths contained within Scripture. May we eagerly study Your Word, meditate on its teachings, and apply them in our daily lives. Help us to live in accordance with Your commands, that our loyalty to You may be evident to all.

We pray for the grace to be loyal to one another as You are loyal to us. Teach us to love one another with a selfless and sacrificial love. May we stand by each other’s side, supporting and encouraging one another in our journey of faith. Give us compassionate hearts that seek to serve and uplift our brothers and sisters in Christ. Help us to forgive and reconcile, knowing that true loyalty is demonstrated through unity and harmony.

Lord, we confess that at times our loyalty wavers and our hearts become divided. Forgive us for our shortcomings and strengthen us to be faithful in all areas of our lives. Fill us with Your Holy Spirit, that we may walk in loyalty and honor You in everything we do.

In Your precious name, Amen.

If you have never experienced the love of God through a relationship with Jesus then come to Him today. He will never turn you away.

February 29th 2020 – Never Alone

“The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing.
He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters, he refreshes my soul.He guides me along the right paths
for his name’s sake. (Psalm 23:1-3)

“Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.” (Psalms 23:1-4)

We see in today’s scripture that the Shepherd leads, guides, helps, and loves us. Now, in verse 4, it changes from the Shepherd’s actions and love for us, to our own actions.  You see, in life there are going to be times when we don’t listen so that we get ourselves in places we shouldn’t be.  Here it’s called “the valley of the shadow of death”.

Have you ever had times like that?  You find that the grass isn’t green and the stream is dirty and you say, “how did I get here?” You see that it was through your own decisions, or you didn’t take the time to listen to the Shepherd’s voice, that you opened doors that should have stayed shut.

Even in these times, even when we mess up, the Great Shepherd doesn’t leave us. No! He promised us that He would never leave us or forsake us.  Never means never and here we see the same promise.  I will fear no evil, why?  FOR YOU ARE WITH ME!  What a promise. When we mess up, we need to “fess up” and He, the Great Shepherd, forgives and restores.

Even when we open doors to the evil one, our Shepherd takes out His mighty rod and grabs hold of us with His wonderful staff and brings great comfort to our lives.  What security, what comfort, what hope we have because of our amazing Jesus.

So take heart today that there is no sin too strong that the blood of Jesus can’t wash away. Rest in His loving arms and hear His heartbeat as you lay your head upon His chest.  Know that He loves you and will always protect you against anything that the enemy might bring against you.  He’ll even protect you when you open a door that you shouldn’t have.

“Although you may feel alone at times, You are never alone, God is right there waiting for us to call on Him.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, I thank You for the blood of Jesus that has washed me white as snow.  I thank You that no matter what comes against me or even when I’m walking in the valley, You are there to comfort and to restore.  What a God I serve. In Jesus precious name. Amen..

February 23rd 2020 – Is God Speaking to You?

“then hear from heaven Your dwelling place, and forgive, and give to everyone according to all his ways, whose heart You know (for You alone know the hearts of the sons of men),” (2 Chronicles 6:30)

Trials, hardships, frustrations–whatever they’re called, we all deal with them at one time or another. The good news is that God desires to speak to us during those times. It could be that you are surrounded by circumstances that are difficult, or you may have made bad choices which have led to a bad situation. In those times, remember the words of Jesus Himself…

“Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.” (Matthew 11:28)

Many times in life, we can’t hear the Lord, even when He is shouting to get our attention. It’s often in those times of struggle that He whispers and we hear His voice loud and clear. If today you find yourself in the midst of hardships, seek the Lord. Use this time to seek forgiveness and cling to the grace of God. Cry out to God and He will hear from heaven and pour out His love upon you in abundance. When we do this, God makes the most of our pain and can bring something good from something bad.

“Whenever something in life goes wrong, use the moment to ask forgiveness and draw closer to the Lord.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, Thank You for the life You have given me. Lord, I pray that when this life gets difficult that I turn to You. Help me draw closer to You whether I am enjoying blessings or walking through trials. Father, may each day and circumstance be used to make me more like Jesus. Forgive me of my sins and fill me with Your Spirit so that I can be used to build Your Kingdom. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

October 5th 2019 – Bad Weather

“We are pressed on every side by troubles, but we are not crushed and broken. We are perplexed, but we don’t give up and quit. We are hunted down, but God never abandons us. We get knocked down, but we get up again and keep going.” (2 Corinthians 4:8-9)

People think that when you are in the will of God, you will always have “smooth sailing.” That is certainly not true of Paul. He seemed to face every kind of adversity imaginable. He had enemies who tried to undermine and even destroy him out of jealousy.

The Apostle Paul delt with storms

Toward the end of the Book of Acts, Paul was making his final journey to Rome because he had appealed to Caesar. As they journeyed, a horrific storm overtook them and everyone despaired for their lives.

Luke describes it this way: “When neither sun nor stars appeared for many days and the storm continued raging, we finally gave up all hope of being saved” (Acts 27:20)

The Lord came to Paul

But the Lord sent His angel to speak to Paul, giving the apostle the ability to encourage the others on board:

But take courage! None of you will lose your lives, even though the ship will go down. For last night an angel of the God to whom I belong and whom I serve stood beside me, and he said, ‘Don’t be afraid, Paul, for you will surely stand trial before Caesar! What’s more, God in his goodness has granted safety to everyone sailing with you.’ So take courage! For I believe God. It will be just as he said.” (Acts 27:22-25)

Will there ever be smooth sailing?

That is not to say we will not have beautiful moments, and even seasons of relative calmness. Not all the winds that blow in life are devastating. In one instance, the log of the journey before the big storm hit says, “The south wind blew softly” (Acts 27:13)

Thank God for those times when the “South wind blows softly.” Those times when you can feel the warmth of the sun on your shoulders and all is well.

God never abandons us

The Apostle Paul had numerable setbacks in life that included beatings and physical harm. He also had a personal physical disability he prayed to be healed of that never left.

Still, he was able to say, “We are pressed on every side by troubles, but we are not crushed and broken. We are perplexed, but we don’t give up and quit. We are hunted down, but God never abandons us. We get knocked down, but we get up again and keep going” (2 Corinthians 4:8-9)

That is one of the reasons the storms and trials come. To make us stronger spiritually. Because in a storm, a trial, or a hardship, you will learn things you could really learn nowhere else.

The Fact is, storms will come in life. It’s not a matter of if but when. Were either pulling out of one or eventually headed toward another.

“Better to be in a storm with Jesus then anywhere else without Him.”

“Fruit does not grow on mountaintops, but in valleys.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father,  It gets so hard trying to face the storms of life on our own especially when we feel weak. I need Your power and strength to face each one. Please continue to help and teach me to turn to You first. Help me learn to patiently endure the suffering and the hard times and honor You in the midst of them. I lift up all of my troubles and faithfully trust in You Lord that you will guide me. Please send others to help me through these tough times. I ask for Your peace to comfort me. I ask, Father, for Your power to strengthen me. When I want to run because I am afraid or hurt, I ask that You help me to stand. I know that You will guide me to grow through these things. Lord, I know You will be there to help me through every storm of life and even in the final storm of death, I wi praise You for Your peace and for Your promise of heaven. Help me to keep my mind focused on eternity so that I will not lose hope here on earth. Fill me with Your Spirit and use my life to share God’s peace with the world. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Trying to face a storm without Jesus will get very overwhelming, you may even feel all alone.  He is waiting for you, ask for His help. If you do not know Him personally, I encourage you not to pass up the precious gift of His love and eternal life. Jesus died on the cross for you and me. Jesus loves us and wants to help us through the storms. If you have not asked Jesus to be your Lord and Savior please click here 4 Simple Steps to Jesus

May 10th 2019 – Identity Revealed

“But he knows where I am going. And when he tests me, I will come out as pure as gold. For I have stayed on God’s paths; I have followed his ways and not turned aside.” (Job 23:10-11)

When you go through a hardship, it will either make you bitter or better. I have discovered that it is usually one or the other. And guess who dget to make that decision? You do! You are the one who gets to choose whether you will be will become bitter when things get tough by turning against the Lord. Or you will get better by trusting in the Lord.

Sometimes people who have experienced a tragedy in their lives will say, “I’ve lost my faith through this.” Proclaiming that reveals that their faith wasn’t real to begin with. If you are a real believer, your faith will not go away when hardship hits. It will get stronger. The faith that cannot be tested is a faith that cannot be trusted. Tragedy reveals who the real believers are.

Suffering helps us grow spiritually and makes us stronger in the faith. It takes our faith from the realm of theory to reality.

Often, it’s easy to talk about our faith. But it’s another thing to live by it. A lot of believers will boast about the number of years they have known the Lord and how many verses they memorized. That is all good. But when your faith is tested, we will find out what you are really made of.

“Suffering does not create character; it reveals it!”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, I am grateful that You are the Rock that I can stand on and an ever present help in times of need. Lord, in those times I feel lost and alone in times of hardship or tragedy, remind me of Your faithfulness and love. May Your Spirit lead me to draw close to You and trust in Your Word over my feelings. Thank You for Your strength and comfort during tough times. Please help me to praise You even in the difficult situations.  Starting now, I choose to express great joy because You love me! Please help me to be an encourager today to the others who are are going through a test. I pray this in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Is Jesus the Lord and Savior of your life? Did you once follow Him but your faith was weak and turned your back on Him in a time of hardship?

Pray this prayer and start a new life, or recommit yourself to to Jesus.

Heavenly Father, I come to You in the Name of Jesus. I admit that I am not right with You, and I want to be right with You. I ask You to forgive me of all my sins. The Bible says if I confess with my mouth that “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in my heart that God raised Him from the dead, I will be saved (Rom. 10:9). I believe with my heart and I confess with my mouth that Jesus is the Lord and Savior of my life. Thank You for saving me! In Jesus’ Name I pray. Amen.

April 12th 2019 – A Thirsty World

“Please, sir,” the woman said, “give me some of that water! Then I’ll never be thirsty again, and I won’t have to come here to haul water.” (John 4:15)

The Israelites and Samaritans lived in a very dry, thirsty land; in a desert. It is hard for many of us to imagine how valuable water is in such a desperate place. Yet, we live in a spiritually dry and thirsty land; we are often oblivious to the lack.

I wonder how many times a day someone tells us they are thirsty. “Please give me some of that water,”it isn’t always because they are actually thirsty for a refreshment. Maybe we didn’t recognize the origional request. It’s because they put another way. When they speak of problems with their children, troubles in their marriage, trials in their life, they are really saying, “I am thirsty.” When they are short tempered, worn out and angry, they are saying they don’t know how to quench their thirst. I also wonder how many times we don’t really understand their plea and their thirst. How many times we walk past opportunities to minister to them. Look for the thirsty and look for the dry. Hear their cries and offer them living water. Remember, just because we may not have the resources to help them financially,  does not mean that we can’t offer them the Living Water of Jesus Christ. That alone is the greatist gift we could ever offer them.

“We should be pouring out to the world what God has poured into us.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, Thank You for loving me so much that You allow me to serve You. Lord, I lift this land up to You and ask You to raise up workers for the harvest. You offer the water that completely quenches our need and You offer it abundantly and freely. Open the hearts of this world to Your gift and allow me to play a part in the quenching of this thirsty world. I thank You that the results are in Your almighty hands. I pray this in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Many times in life, we can’t hear the Lord, even when He is shouting to get our attention. It’s often in those times of struggle that He whispers and we hear His voice loud and clear. If today you find yourself in the midst of hardships, seek the Lord. Use this time to seek forgiveness and cling to the grace of God. Cry out to God and He will hear from heaven and pour out His love upon you in abundance. When we do this, God makes the most of our pain and can bring something good from something bad.

“Whenever something in life goes wrong, use the moment to ask forgiveness and draw closer to the Lord.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, Thank You for the life You have given me. Lord, I pray that when this life gets difficult that I turn to You. Help me draw closer to You whether I am enjoying blessings or walking through trials. Father, may each day and circumstance be used to make me more like Jesus. Forgive me of my sins and fill me with Your Spirit so that I can be used to build Your Kingdom. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
